Keeping The Love

Matthew 24:11-12 - And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.

In our blood if viruses and germs are like sin then love is like the white blood corpuscles which fights them. The more of the white blood corpuscles we have, the more can we overcome any viruses or germs. But if the ratio changes then our fighting ability come down totally and we become a victim to the disease. Jesus spoke about the last days when sin would abound and love would perish. But He says only those who keep this love alive are the ones who will be saved.

This fight is not something that will happen only in the last days, but even today inside of you and me.

We all have weaknesses due to which we fall into sin. We all must have tried very hard to fight this nature and failed or are very tired fighting this battle. The only way we can fight this nature is with 'love'. When we love the Lord and increase it more and more everyday, then only will we be able to overcome our sinful nature. This love does not only help us, but as it radiates within us it changes even the people around us. Increase these white blood corpuscles more and more and increase the immunity against sin.

Prayer-Lord, it is only because of your love that You are cleansing us of our sins and making us holy. I love You and your love within me gives me the strength to overcome my sinful nature and sin. Fill me with more and more of your love that I may never lack strength. I make this prayer in Jesus' Name, Amen.

The Word of God was given free to us, therefore we should also share it freely with others. (All rights are with God)
